Backpack your jacket

ABSTRACT

This invention is a utility which is applicable to the comfort of individuals, and a way to carry their jackets or coats when not using them in any place where they need to do so in such a way that it does not bother them anymore while going about performing their business. They do it by carrying the Jackets or Coats on their backs instead of folding and carrying them on their arms, or wrapping them around their waists or just carrying them with discomfort.

1. FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates to the comfort and peace of mind of thepeople when utilizing their jackets or coats during seasonal time orotherwise.

2. DISCUSSION

[0002] Present jackets and coats are not user friendly in the way thatthey are handled when they are not worn. During our years of going tothe mall it has always been a chore to figure out what to do with thebulky jackets or coats when shopping. So for a family of a few memberslike ours with kids and heavy winter or fall coats or jackets andshopping in the mall it has always been “who is going to carry thejackets or the coats?” for hours while in the mall. Similarly whileobserving the people around during shopping, someone is always carryingthe coats or jackets while shopping from one store to the next or evensitting on a bench somewhere with a bunch of clothes in his/her lap.Others could be seen with their coats or jackets tied around theirbellies and from time to time reaching over to re-tighten the grip overtheir waist to prevent the jackets or coats from falling. So far no mallthat I have been to had a place to check in the jackets or coats andshop freely without the hassle of carrying them around. And needless tosay that if there were such a place in the mall the persons who check intheir coats will have to spend extra time filling out papers and wastetheir time during check in and check out. This design will alleviate theproblem of carrying the coats or the jackets by making them more userfriendly. So while the people are shopping they can have their coats orjackets with them being carried on their backs. This way, they will havethe physical comfort because the best place to carry something is onsomeone's back and the mental peace of mind that their jackets are notgoing to be lost or damaged somewhere. And every member of the familycan carry his/her own. This will free up the folks to go about theirmerry way into enjoying the shopping exercise.

3. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION(S)

[0003] The present/older jackets and coats do not allow users a good wayto be carried when not worn. So by designing something that will be partof the clothing that is not intrusive or look ugly while allowingcomfort is the way to go. This design calls for adding a strap that willextend from the middle back of a jacket or a coat to 2 straps that willgo over the shoulders down to the chest and to the under arms.Therefore, with this design one could wear the clothes/jacket/coatwithout noting any difference in appearance or comfort. So when arrivinginto an inside area of a place or a building one could take the jacketoff and insert hands into the straps and accomplish carrying theclothes/jacket/coat onto his/her back. In addition to the straps thedesign will include an option to provide a way to fold theclothing/jacket/coat to look like a package by adding other strap(s)which hookup to the middle of the back to fold in around theclothes/jacket/coat and hold them in place as a package. Therefore, willmake the clothes/jacket/coat look like a backpack on someone's back.Please see FIGS. 1 and 2 for illustration on how the design will beaccomplished. These 2 features, the straps to carry theclothes/jacket/coat on someone's back and the straps to allow thefolding of the clothes/jacket/coat to look like a package on someone'sback are to be claimed as the main ideas for this design.

4. A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE IDEA AND PICTURES/DRAWING

[0004] So imagine a jacket or whatever is worn like a jacket with twostraps (strap1 (3) and strap2 (2) in Picture 1) that initiate (attached)from where the clothes tag (1) is usually located right at the back ofthe neck. Those 2 straps each form a loop and attach to the inside of ajacket in such a way that they allow the arms to go through the insideof the loop when the arms are extending out into the sleeves. That ishow the jacket is normally worn. Now imagine another strap (4) thathooks to the point where those 2 loop straps (3,2) initiate at theclothes tag (1). That lone strap (4) extends down the back to a certainlength that allows it to loop around the jacket when it is folded andattach to its original starting point with a Velcro or a button orwhatever would to the job. That lone strap (4) is normally not in a loopconfiguration. So when a person is wanting to carry the jacket as a backpack then that person could take off the jacket fold it on the 2 Y-axis(5) and (6), both fold towards strap axis (7) then another fold againaround the x-axis (8) direction all as depicted in picture 2. Then thatperson will slip his arms into the straps (3,2) where the loops are (asin picture 1). That way the jacket becomes a package which is carried onthat person's back rather then carrying his/her arm or tying it down tohis/her waist.

5. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTIONS

[0005] This invention is a combination of 3 ideas which are:

[0006] 1^(st) idea: is the claim to the idea of having to carrysomeone's clothes/jacket/coat on someone's back.

[0007] 2^(nd) idea: is the additional design that will allow theclothes/jacket/coat to be held as a pack after folding it and strappingwith the straps as described in section 4 above.

[0008] 3^(rd) idea: is coming up with the name to sell this productunder, which is “JACKPACKET”.

[0009] It is important to note that the above designs and ideas can beapplied independently such that it could be sold as an add-on ontopresent clothing or it could be made as part of the new designedclothing. This will allow people who already have clothing that theywant to attach this design to do just that and for new customers who arepurchasing clothing that this design is mounted on to do so too. Bothcustomers can then benefit from this design and allow them to utilizetheir clothes more efficiently.

We, Caralee Kassab and Roger J. Kassab claim the following:
 1. The ideaof utilizing straps (which could be made of any material) to carry theclothes/jacket/coat onto someone's back. (As depicted in picture 1 (1, 2and 3), and picture 2 (5, 6, 7 and 8))
 2. The idea of adding more strapsthat will hold the clothing/jacket/coat while on someone's back in aform of a pack. (As depicted in picture 1 (4))
 3. The name of the designwhich is “JACKPACKIT” which stands for JACKet backPACK IT.
 4. That theabove idea/design can be sold with the clothing or separately as anattachment to present clothing. End of document.
